Weather: Hot and muggy

I am not going to lie, when asked to Q The Yard, I had to hop on over to the F3Nation website to remind myself where the Yard is.  It brought back fond memories of the Claves Pre-Run and Convergence from last fall.

COP:

• Windmills x10 IC
• Imperial Walkers x10 IC
• Mountain Climbers X10 IC
• Peter Parkers x10 IC
• Parker Peters x10 IC
• Side Straddle Hops x20 IC

The Thang:

We moseyed to the circle behind the school for a Long Shanks inspired round of Lucky 7. Mental note to a Q at a moderate workout – never mentioned Long Shanks and inspired or else the mumble chatter will be high!

• 7 Squats
• 7 Mountain Climbers
• 7 Carolina Dry Docks
• Lap around the circle
• Rinse and Repeat 7x

We then lined up, in plank position, for some Bear Crawl Inch Worm.  Pax member at the end of the plan line bear crawls to the front and yells out front, and the next Pax member bear crawls to the front.  While planking, YHC mixed it up with some left arm high and right arm high, attempting to keep the mind off how much it hurts.

After debating whether we should attempt some hand rail crawling on the temporary building, and realizing there was ‘no way out’, we moseyed over to the wall of the middle school for some People Chair.  To pass the time, we called out our F3 names along the line, with arms regular, arms high and then Al Gore.

Using the two basketball courts, we then did a round of 11’s with Squats and Monkey Humpers (thank you everyone for turning around before executing the Monkey Humpers – much better view for the remaining Pax.  Due to high levels of mumble chatter, and only a few minutes left, we then shortened the run and did a round of 5’s with LBCs and Plank Jacks.

After moseying back to the starting point, we did a quick round of Mary, ab focused with some Flutter Kicks, Freddie Mercury and Box Cutters.

The Moleskin:

Instead of the easy way out of asking for 10-counts through-out this moderate workout, I took the opportunity to share some insights I gained dating back to a great teacher of mine in high school (Mr. Knight).  Never forget to tell a friend or loved one know how much you appreciate them/love them.  Especially in moments when it is least expected.  We often get busy in life and begin to take these relationships for granted.  This is especially important when we lose a friend or loved one to death and realize we should have taken the opportunity to say thank you or I love you!  We added those who service us to the list of folks to reach out to also. Firemen, policemen, etc.

Announcements:

• Ruck stuff
• CAH does not need volunteers today.
• 3rd F Theme for August: Forgiveness
• Ragnar Trail Run – still looking for team members

Prayers:

• Kids heading off to college, that they make the right decisions and stay focused on school.
• Hasselhoffs friends M and 2.0’s who have to move for the first time due to his friends bad decisions and addiction.
• FishSticks Father-in-law and family

Thank you for the opportunity to lead, and more importantly, thank you ALL for the positive impact you have all made on my life.  I truly appreciate each and every one of you.
